Boris Yakemenko, Ph.D., teacher at RUDN University, presented the book at the State Historical Museum

On February 16, the State Historical Museum hosted a presentation of the book by Boris Yakemenko, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of History of Russia at RUDN University.

In the book “History of Russia from Ancient Times to the Present Day,” Boris Yakemenko comprehensively examines the life of the Russian state. The story about great rulers, religion, culture and life, significant reforms, including their economic and social consequences, makes it possible to reflect on the cause and outcome of the main events in the history of the country. A separate chapter is devoted to the events of 2022 and 2023.

This book turns to history; an appeal to her experience, the life experience of those who walked this earth before us, an attempt to understand in some ways what is happening, in some ways the past, and in some ways the future. The state and the individual are two subjects of history, the relationship between which determines the course and direction of the historical process.

“The book is a comprehensive picture of Russian history. One of the most important events in the modern history of Russia is the Northern Military District. The chapter about it is preceded by a large overview of the relationship between Russia and Ukraine over the past 30 years, so that the logic of events is clear. I don't evaluate events - I evaluate the logic that leads to them. This means that we evaluate the causes, since an event is only a consequence”, - Boris Yakemenko.

This is the second edition of Boris Yakemenko’s book, which, according to the Moscow bookstore, has already become a bestseller.
